Because even the most conscientious of editors will occasionally make spelling errors, there is a need to have '''bot enforcement''' of the spelling policy. A comprehensive list of the differences between British and American spellings has been compiled into a bot routine known as a "user-fix", so that all users may see what exactly the bot is checking for. | |||

Thanks to the ubiquity of American spellings in pop culture, there are a few cases where valid if archaic British spellings can be corrected to standard American spellings without the need for a forum decision. In such cases, modern British usage hews closely to the American, and clearly argues ''against'' more archaic forms. | Thanks to the ubiquity of American spellings in pop culture, there are a few cases where valid if archaic British spellings can be corrected to standard American spellings without the need for a forum decision.

Due to the presence of the modern television ITV/BBCA television series with which many ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fans will be familiar, as well as [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Primeval]]'', the unambiguously American spelling "wins" the contest. ''Primaeval'' will be actively corrected to ''primeval''. This shouldn't ruffle too many feathers, since modern British spell-checkers fail ''primaeval''. | ||
* '''Tranquillize/tranquillise/tranquilise/tranquilize'''. There are four different ways to spell this one damned word (and all words deriving from it). Ridiculous. The ''-ll'' versions are both okay in BrEng; the ''-l'' versions are both okay in AmEng. However, only ''one'' spelling passes ''modern'' British spell-checkers. Therefore ''tranquillise'' shall be deemed correct, and the bot will correct the other three spellings. | * '''Tranquillize/tranquillise/tranquilise/tranquilize'''.

The most common British spelling that Spellbot | The most common British spelling that Spellbot 3.0 will not correct is "Honor" with a capital ''H''. It's fine with lower case ''honor'', but it's not yet been determined how to except for a name with a diacritic in it. Thus [[Honoré Lechasseur]] can't currently be excepted unless the bot simply ignores "Honor". This is doubly useful since, for reasons equally unclear, the exception for "[[Honor Blackman]]" is not being, well, ''honoured''. Since ''honor'' does not typically begin a sentence, this compromise is believed acceptable for the time being. | ||
